Customer Reviews

A great starting point for those interested in Data Mining

This is a well written and interesting book on a complex topic. I especially appreciated the first four chapters, which provide a good overview of estimation and classification, and chapters 10 through 12 which describe the main algorithms, training and testing and troubleshooting.

Excellent review of data mining methods

This was the text I've been looking for over the last year. It is organized in a very logical manner, first outlining the foundation knowledge necessary to begin understanding the data mining field. It then proceeds to outline the methods and models driving this exciting new field. My only complaint is that the CD Rom at the back requires a non-toll free phone call to get the necessary password before you can use the software, and then only for a finite period of time. But its of little significance compared to the wealth of information contained in this book for both experts and novices.
